Chapter 2054 - 675: I Will Protect You (4)
She worked diligently, using all her knowledge and passion, to paint a picture of an incredibly beautiful future for him.
On her face, there was both comfort and encouragement for him, as well as a profound hope that "we will eventually meet on the same mountain peak."
Thus began the life with his first love in the Imperial City.
After starting work, although both became increasingly busy, they still maintained the closest contact, sharing every little detail of each other’s lives.
And in order to better coordinate with him, Secretary Jin personally took on the role of Chairman of Meigou Technology.
On the surface.
Secretary Jin was the company chairman, Tang Song a regular programmer.
But in private, Secretary Jin would always change her stockings’ style and color according to his preferences.
Then in the exclusive chairman’s office on the top floor, she would wait for his instructions.
This was a little intimate understanding between the two of them.
It was during this seemingly calm yet enormously eventful period.
Each morning on the crowded subway Line 5, Tang Song’s memory began to recurrently feature Zhang Yan’s figure.
She always carried a conspicuous red backpack, quietly standing to the right of Car Door No. 11.
There, coincidentally, was precisely where he habitually stood after boarding.
...
The newly established Tang Jin Family Office began to gain momentum.
London, Singapore, Tokyo...
One office after another, like chess pieces, landed in the heart of major global financial centers.
They accurately liquidated positions on the eve of the tech stock bubble burst and profited by short selling through stock index futures;
Then at the market panic’s peak, they aggressively bought core assets;
In 2019, they heavily invested in commodities, enjoying the bull market revelry brought on by global monetary easing in 2020...
Ultimately, they completed an epic wealth shift of the world’s quality core assets.
At the same time.
Ouyang Xianyue demonstrated the strong capabilities of a top entrepreneur.
She personally led the team, spending a year and a half, sparing no expense to thoroughly digest, absorb, and reorganize all the acquisition technology systems of different countries.
By the end of 2020.
A brand new TY Precision 2.0, possessing complete independent intellectual property rights, covering the entire industry chain from core materials and precision optics to intelligent manufacturing.
Officially announced its birth.
Simultaneously, in North China, the Pearl River Delta, and the Yangtze River Delta, dozens of supporting supply chain factories owned or partly owned by TY Precision sprang up.
Tightly revolving around the core of TY Precision, forming an efficient and stable industrial loop.
The role cultivation plan task of "Precision Queen - Ouyang Xianyue" came to an end.
On the day of success, there was no celebration banquet, nor was there a press conference.
Tang Song flew alone to Shen City.
In TY Precision’s chairman’s office, slid a box made from a whole piece of golden-thread cedar gently across to Ouyang Xianyue.
Inside the box was the physical item reward Tang Song had just received from the system—the "Moon’s Protection" necklace.
The pendant of the necklace was a crescent moon meticulously carved from a whole piece of mutton fat jade.
The jade texture was warm and delicate, pure and flawless.
Under the light, it emitted a soft and holy glow, as if a scoop of moonlight had truly been plucked from the sky.
Ouyang Xianyue looked at him, her eyes truly moved.
Tang Song said nothing, gently picking up the necklace from the box.
He walked behind her and personally put it on for her.
The cool chain and the warm jade pendant lightly pressed against her warm neck skin.
Ouyang Xianyue slowly closed her eyes.
...
On November 1st, 2020, Halloween.
His first love, busy all day, nonetheless dragged him out of the rental apartment, excitedly taking him to Sanlitun to join in the Halloween celebrations there.
In that square filled with eccentric costumes, monster cosplay, and the laughter of young people.
Liu Qingning mysteriously told him she wanted to perform a "lucky spell" for him.
Then, she seriously chanted spells and gesticulated in front of him.
While he was distracted, she slyly slipped a carefully prepared gift box into his backpack.
And repeatedly insisted that he only open it when he was home.
That night, he returned to that tiny rental room and opened the gift box.
Lying quietly inside was the latest model of Huawei Mate40.
That day was the first sales day, and due to chip-related reasons, this phone held special significance at the time. It was instantly sold out upon release, with queues outside stores, and even scalpers raising prices to over thousands of yuan.
She had specifically found a friend working at Huawei and barely managed to get one for him in advance.
...
On Christmas Eve of 2020, New York.
Tang Song stood side by side with Secretary Jin in front of the iconic Wall Street Charging Bull statue.
Fine snowflakes silently fell from Manhattan’s grey sky.
All around, were financial elites in thick coats, rushing by.
"Click—"
Qin Yingxue, with her SLR camera, pressed the shutter, forever capturing this moment.
This photo was to celebrate the official opening of the Tang Jin Family Office’s New York Headquarters.
Secretary Jin took the camera, reviewing the photo just taken.
On the screen, their figures, set against the backdrop of snow and Wall Street, appeared calm yet full of strength.
A slight smile mixed with pride and satisfaction appeared on her face.
Their story had begun to play out on the world stage.
From that day on, the Tang Jin Family Office officially entered the public eye.
Like a giant stone plunged into the deep sea, it stirred colossal waves in the global top-tier capital circle.
...
The night had long deepened.
The office was without the main lights on, only the view of Manhattan’s diamond-like, star-river nightscape through the vast floor-to-ceiling windows, illuminating everything inside intermittently.
Tang Song and Secretary Jin stood side by side in this flickering light.
The whole world seemed to quiet down.
"We’re successful now."
Secretary Jin spoke softly, a dreamlike light glistening in her eyes.
Over four years, from an inconspicuous beginning in Yan City to this day, standing at the pinnacle of world finance.
All of this seemed like a beautiful dream he dared not wake from.
Tang Song said nothing, merely quietly looking down over the city of endless desire below.
After a long while.
Tang Song suddenly turned, looking at her beside him, "Secretary Jin."
"Here I am."
"If one day, I start to become fat, unkempt, no longer ’wise,’ and no longer who I am now, what would you think of me?"
His voice was still calm, without a hint of disturbance.
Jin Meixiao slightly tilted her head, gazing at his side profile made somewhat blurry by the light and shadow.
After a moment, a perfect smile appeared on her graceful face.
"I will protect you."
